The doctors here are great and I love the fact that they do a lot of research. However, the prices are certainly not justified. I had about 5 appointments with a pulmonologist, a couple of breathing tests (all you are doing is breathing into a machine) and some blood work done. My bill came out to be about $1200. I qualified for financial assistance even though I make $50k annually. My bill was reduced to about $440, but this was after I fought with the financial assistance department for about 2 months. Also, they told me I needed to see a gastroenterologist when I saw the doctor. I cancelled my appointment in June because I wanted to see somebody who I could afford outside of their network and a couple of weeks ago somebody called me asking if I wanted to come back. I think they have a problem with losing their patients because of their prices.
